Craig claims that if God does not exist, there is no ground for absolute moral duties because there is no moral lawgiver. The implication being that a lawgiver could provide that ground. But this is false, lawgivers are still subjective beings and their presence doesn't guarantee moral objectivity. Even if a divine lawgiver required certain duties of us, all that would be necessarily true is that it required certain duties of us. It would not follow that the certain duties were therefore absolutely good or objectively grounded (i.e. [[Is-ought argument against divine obedience]]). | Craig claims that if God does not exist, there is no ground for absolute moral duties because there is no moral lawgiver.
